    Everything was lovely! The cabin felt spacious (especially the bathroom). It was a joy watching the local wildlife and birds. The tennis court and pool area is great.

    The pillows weren’t to my personal liking but others in my group weren’t too concerned about it.

    The location was beautiful, so peaceful. The unit was very well appointed and had everything we needed.

    It didn't bother us being winter, but if we were to come back in summer I'd be hoping for the addition of some screens, at least on the front window and glass door.

    Beautiful quiet location, surrounded by wildlife with national parks walking trails nearby. Great wood fire that kept us toasty warm and a spa bath with more than enough room for two. Well equipped kitchen with full sized fridge and freezer. Also the thoughtful inclusions like board games, tennis racquets and extra blankets were great.

    We stayed here over the weekend to celebrate our friend’s birthday, and it was absolutely incredible! Every detail had been thoughtfully considered — from fire starters ready by the fireplace to a charming picnic basket complete with a cozy blanket. The surroundings were just as magical, with wallabies and birds wandering so close it felt like a scene from a nature documentary. A truly unforgettable stay in a stunning location!

    The lighting inside was a bit too bright. Dimmers would be useful.

    We loved the perfect and peaceful location of this accommodation, nestled into spectacular nature. We were greeted by kookaburras and many other birds. We also enjoyed the outdoor fire pit very much. What a serene place.

    The location was exceptional. As it wasn't yet school holidays, we were one of only a few houses within the Barrington Wilderness Estate that were occupied. The tennis courts were a fun addition and the wildlife and peace and quiet made it the escape that we were looking for.
